"For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
2 PETER 1:8-11
When you have seen the Lord Jesus Christ - it makes obedience and faith quite simple. For the truth is the resurrected Lord. Therefore, there is no death - no suffering - only eternity in the Lord. To see him - you must know him - to know him - you must walk with him - to walk with him you must know his way - you must seek his will - to seek his will - you must know his word.
This is life - the truth - and the way. The word is God. The word is Jesus Christ. For if the only way to life is through Jesus Christ - there is but one way to live - through Jesus Christ.
A Christian can get caught up in the habit of worshipping God. The times for prayer are the same, the time for fellowship is arranged, the time for reading is kept in routine. The worship of God is not a habit that takes place on schedule but a state of being. Jesus had the father with him every moment of his life, for he was sent to fulfill the will of his father. Those who call Jesus Lord have the power of the Holy Spirit which provides the same direct line to the father. God is with you everywhere, therefore his will can be done without routine, but when he calls.
